Kinda upsets me with what they are doing with the Corvette. The car should be strictly aimed at Americans first. This one seems to be designed to satisfy Europe's expectations instead. It still is not going to sell much better than the C5 in Europe IMO. It's too expensive there and it's price is the best selling point for the car here.

I don't see how it is designed to satisfy Europe's expectations. I doubt they liked the C5's plastic interior but the C6 has a much better interior. It is also five inches shorter which helps with their crowded roads and streets.

Size - as you said designed to EU spec
Lights - EU spec per what Dave Hill admitted a few weeks back. They won't allow pop-ups pretty soon.

The interior is still not good enough for what they charge for this car in Europe though. I don't think many people in the USA would buy the car at 90-100K. I'd buy a used Ferrari for that and I love Vettes.
